All I ask for is 2 things. Mandatory separation of device subsidy and the monthly fee. And third party companies able to rent spectrum at a competive rate.

I don't think they actually wanted 2 year contracts, but the reality is that they did have a determental affect on the consumer. The telcos raised their rates and got far more restrictive on device upgrades and cancellations than they were before.
Nice idea, but they underestimated who they were doing business with.
